Moving Beyond QuickBooks Desktop
For 25-plus years, Edgeboro managed its finances in QuickBooks Desktop with a lean accounting team. As the business expanded across state lines, the system no longer provided the controls and scalability the team needed. Payroll became an early pressure point.
“We really outgrew QuickBooks Desktop’s usability. Once we started working across state lines, the payroll side just couldn’t keep up. That was one of the first cracks in the foundation telling us we needed to replace it.”

Working Smarter With Sage Intacct
During the initial Sage Intacct demo, the team saw how a more sophisticated accounting platform could improve their day-to-day experience. Working across multiple windows and drilling into details without losing their place would help the team move through routine tasks more efficiently.
“Being able to duplicate and spread windows across screens was the first real aha moment: a modern web-based solution that isn’t laggy.”

Working Without the Wait
Before Sage Intacct, an urgent task outside normal hours meant logging into a virtual server and waiting for it to load. With cloud-based access, Edgeboro can now complete time-sensitive work quickly, wherever and whenever it is needed.
“Last night, past midnight, I realized I hadn’t scheduled a payment. Boom, boom, boom, done. With QuickBooks I’d have had to log into the virtual server and wait for it to load. That’s huge in today’s fast-moving environment.”

Building a Foundation for Future Growth
With Sage Intacct in place, the Edgeboro team now has a flexible financial foundation that supports today’s operations and future growth. Key improvements include:
Payroll data flows directly into Sage Intacct for clearer reporting
Cloud access enables work from anywhere, anytime
Modern navigation makes day-to-day tasks more efficient
Multi-entity capability supports future growth
Building Confidence in the Partnership
A scalable system matters most when it is backed by a partner the team can rely on. As Edgeboro continues to adopt Sage Intacct and plan for growth, Accordant’s responsive support gives the team greater confidence in both the platform and the partnership.
“It goes back to the ability to scale the system. Accordant’s support is so much stronger now. It instills in me that we’re in the right partnership.”
